It may not be located in the best part of town, corner of State and Broad, this is by far the best fried chicken. I was able to convince my co-workers this and we had a party. The consensus was the chicken had a great flavor, crispy, moist and very economical. The side of macaroni and cheese is very creamy. I have eaten here several times and never had a bad experience .

They get a bad rap because of the location but recently a friend picked me up lunch from there. This review is based on one visit. The chicken was flavorful and juicy. The fries were so so. Soda came with the meal which is a plus. Hopefully my next visit will be as good.

A great takeout place in the area. The platters are great tasting with plenty of protein and salad. Even the nuggets were nicer than most other places. Love this place

I have come back to this place many times. The food is delicious and flavorful no matter what I order and the prices are more than affordable. This is a popular spot since it is next to a high traffic bus stop. Only downside is that there isn't any seating available. Great place to grab your food and go. I recommend the 2 pc honey BBQ chicken meal with fries and a soda for just $5.50. Many food places in this area is cash only. Crown Fried Chicken accepts card and doesn't charge you the extra 45¢ if you buy more than $10. If you don't feel like cooking dinner tonight, stop in and grab yourself an inexpensive satisfying meal.
